I really do understand how hurtful her behavior must be.
Last year I was in a highly depressive state and was experiencing so much anxiety I was actually hospitalized and diagnosed with a situational panic disorder. I also have SLE so that made matters worse. What I can tell you is when an individual is in the thick of depression/anxiety it is *very* difficult to accept help.
I can't speak for your W but I really felt like I was nuts. I tried to hide it from everybody and just keep chugging along. I actually planned my days on how I could hide my anxiety.
At the time this seemed like a perfectly good and smart plan. Obviously it was not!
Because your W is in so deep she may not be able to see what you see.
